This Safety Guide makes recommendations concerning the regulatory process for controlling the discharge of liquid and gaseous effluents to the environment from normal controlled operations of practices in which radioactive material is used.
This Safety Guide provides recommendations on meeting the requirements, including those established in Safety Standards Series No. NS-R-1, Safety of Nuclear Power Plants: Design, for the development of programmes for radiation protection and for the management of radioactive waste at nuclear power plants.
This Safety Requirements publication establishes the requirements for the legal and governmental infrastructure in respect of a range of facilities and activities, including nuclear facilities, sources of ionizing radiation, management of radioactive waste and transport of radioactive material. It covers development of the legal framework for establishing a regulatory body and other actions to …
Accident analysis, i.e. deterministic safety analysis, is an important tool for confirming the adequacy and efficiency of provisions within the defence in depth concept for the safety of nuclear power plants (NPPs). An analysis that lacks consistency or quality, or is incomplete, represents a safety issue for a given NPP. The purpose of the report is therefore to provide the necessary practical…
This Guide describes the first stage of the siting process for nuclear power plants — the site survey, which involves the study and investigation of a large region to select one or more preferred candidate sites. Its purpose is to recommend procedures and provide information for use in implementing a part of the Code of Practice on Safety in Nuclear Power Plant Siting (IAEA Safety Series No. …
This book consist : Introduction; Basic principles for structuring, staffing and documenting the organization for quality assurance; Organizational structure of the responsible organization; Organization of the plant disgners; Organization of manufacturers and constructors; and Record. (Jml)
This report provides detailed information on the handling, processing and storage techniques most widely used and recommended for waste from non-fuel-cycle activities, i.e. radioactive waste generated during the application of nuclear techniques and radioisotopes in industry, medicine, research and education. The report was designed to meet mainly the needs of developing countries by focusing o…
Ion beam techniques contribute significantly to the research and development of new materials in important research areas such as information technology, energy management, environmental protection and human health. This publication contains information on how to facilitate applied, innovative research and development efforts using low energy accelerators to study material characteristics, deve…
This publication reviews the current status, developments and trends in electronics and digital signal processing methods for nuclear spectrometry. It details improvements in resolution, background reduction and throughput in radiation detector systems achieved by replacing the traditional analog signal processing systems with digital systems. Furthermore it summarizes digital signal processing…
This report provides practical guidance on the methods available for verification of the software and validation of computer based systems in nuclear power plants, and on how and when these methods can be effectively applied. It will be of particular interest to all those involved in the development, implementation, maintenance and use of software and computer based instrumentation and control …
